Conference will take place in Hotel Parc Bellevue, Luxembourg (official website, hotel page at booking.com). There are several other hotels in walking distance around, so you can choose where you stay during the conference.Getting to the ConferenceAirport

You can take a cab or a bus to get into the city. The bus lines number 9 and 16 take you to the City Centre (see schedule), the buses run every 10 to 15 minutes, you can check times on www.mobiliteit.lu.

From the Centre Hamilius or Royal Quai 1-2 you can walk to the Parc Belle-Vue in under 5 minutes — see Google maps.

Train station

You can take any bus leaving from Quai 1 in front of the train station, they all go up into the city centre (except 1, but I do not remember which one, I haven't taken a bus from the train station in 2 years, it's easiest to just ask when getting on if the bus stops at Hamilius) and drop you off at Centre Hamilius or Royal Quai 1-2.

By car

Arriving from France or Belgium, we recommend to stay on the motorway E25
